    The hybrid amaryllis (Hippeastrum) is a tender bulb easily grown in pots. Amaryllis is prized for its huge showy flowers ranging from scarlet or crimson to white in color, and often striped or mottled. Amaryllis can be grown outdoors throughout the year in mild climates, but must be grown indoors in Nebraska except during the warm summer months. Amaryllis is prized for its huge showy flowers ranging from scarlet or crimson to white in color, and often striped or mottled. Most amaryllis are Dutch or African hybrids selected for flower size, color and ease of forcing. The usual flowering season is from February to April. The foliage grows during spring and summer, ripening early in the fall if temperatures are low and the soil is allowed to dry out. The bulb normally remains dormant until late winter (December or January)

    In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay\u27s first paragraph. Greek mythology explains the origins of the Amaryllis flower through a story of love. A beautiful maiden named Amaryllis falls in love with a shepherd named Alteo, on a mountainside. Alteo had the strength of Hercules and the beauty of Apollo with a passion for flowers. He claimed he would only fall in love with a girl who could bring to him a new type of a flower that he had never seen before. Determined to win his love, Amaryllis traveled to the Oracle of Delphi for guidance. The oracle instructed her that in order to win Alteo‘s heart she must sacrifice her blood for him. So Amaryllis stood in front of his house for thirty nights piercing her own heart with a golden arrow. On the thirtieth day a crimson flower grew from the blood of her heart, thus resulting in her winning Alteo‘s love in return. The flower Amaryllis is now a representation of love, its red color symbolizing the sacrifice young Amaryllis was willing to make to win the heart of Alteo

    The screening score of Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is a useful routine screening tool for malnutrition risk in patients on maintenance dialysis

    PURPOSE: Malnutrition is prevalent in patients on dialysis and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Nutritional status can be assessed by a variety of biochemical and physical parameters or nutritional assessment scores. Most of these methods are expensive or cumbersome to use and are not suitable for routine repetitive follow-up in dialysis patients. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) has a short form screening set (MNA-SF), which would be suitable as a screening tool, but has not been validated yet in dialysis patients. We aimed to assess whether the MNA is an appropriate tool for identifying nutritional problems in dialysis patients. METHOD: MNA, routine biochemistry, physical parameters, comorbidities were assessed in cross-sectional multicentric cohorts of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients with a longitudinal follow up of 2 years for mortality. RESULTS: In this cohort of 216 patients, mortality was 27.3% at a follow up of 750±350 days. The mean MNA-SF score was 9.9±1.8, with 30.1%, 59.3% and 10.6% of patients categorized as having normal nutritional status, at risk for malnutrition and malnourished, respectively. The screening score was associated with mortality (HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.75-0.98 per point). With normal nutrition as reference, adjusted mortality was 2.50 (95% CI 1.16-5.37) and 3.89 (95% CI 1.48-10.13) for patients at risk for malnutrition and with malnutrition, respectively. After recalibrating the MNA full score for the specificity of some of its domains for dialysis patients, the MNA-SF had a good sensitivity and specificity for not being well nourished (0.95 and 0.63 respectively) in the full score, and a high negative predictive value (0.91). CONCLUSION: The MNA-SF is independently associated with 2 year mortality in dialysis patients. It has a high negative predictive value for excluding being at risk or having malnutrition in the full score. Therefore, it can be advocated as a screening tool for nutritional status in dialysis patients

    Always Elsewhere: On Longing and Palermo

    This research paper explores the implications of returning to a cultural homeland. Using an autoethnographical approach, this paper follows my own recent ‘return’ to my mother’s city of Palermo, Sicily. By using personal experience to examine notions of home and belonging, this paper aims to articulate the dislocation and resultant longing for lost homelands experienced by the second-generation migrant child. It looks at concepts of exile and home, and feelings of unbelonging in one’s own birth country. Along with personal reflection, the methodology includes both theoretical and literary research, in addition to various personal accounts of the second-generation migrant experience. In questioning the nature of cultural nostalgia, this paper challenges the notion of a ‘true homeland’, and observes the impact of holding multiple cultural ties on identity and the self
